Teaching and Instruction

The Weather
Communications Group (WCG) teaches a variety of classes which primarily
focus on improving the presentation and communication of weather
forecasts and synoptic meteorology to the public. The WCG has developed
a series of Weather Communications Classes. During the summer, the
group sponsors a week-long resident Weather
Camp for students in grades 8-10. There is also a Teacher’s
Camp that provides high school instructors with lessons on the
various subjects in weather.

In
addition, the Weather Communications Group is frequently called
on to give talks to groups. The WCG provides academic support and
advising for prospective students. The group also works closely
in supporting the Campus
Weather Service and its many operational learning opportunities.
In addition, the WCG
facilitates students' internships with USAToday,
the United States Golf Association (USGA), The
Weather Channel, and several TV stations and educational institutions.
